AB ObjectiveGiven the absence of a standardized action protocol for treating patients with dental implants (DIs) who are subjected to radiotherapy (RT), we have conducted an extensive review and analysis of published literature on this subject. Our objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of RT on the bone surrounding osseointegrated implants during and after treatment.Study DesignWe conducted a literature review using PubMed (MEDLINE) to identify studies describing the effects of RT on preexisting osseointegrated and/or loaded DIs. Articles published between January 1963 and December 2023 were considered for inclusion.ResultsA total of 1,126 articles were retrieved, 64 full articles were reviewed, and only 13 articles were included in this review upon meeting the criteria. A total of 667 patients and 2,409 implants were included. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) was observed in approximately 19 implants following antineoplastic treatment.ConclusionsThe interaction between DIs and RT is a complex and multifaceted issue that requires further research and clinical guidance. Although certain studies indicate a possible connection between DIs, radiation, and ORN risk, the precise relationship remains unclear. Factors such as radiation dosage, implant characteristics, material, and timing of placement significantly influence this association.
